How does it compare to other carafes and wine decanters?

The first thing to note is that this decanter is not made from standard glass, but from lead-free crystal. Crystal is usually preferred to glass for wineware, glasses, decanters and carafes. It allows lighter, thinner designs, while keeping durable strength, due to the minerals included in the materials.

However, in many cases, the mineral in question is lead, which has been proved to have long-term effects on health.

Moreover, its mouth is designed specially to make the wine swirl and get oxidation started as you pour the wine into it.

The volume is made for holding the wine from a standard 750ml bottle. After you empty the bottle, the decanter won’t look full, but that’s on purpose: in order to maximize the contact surface with air, the decanter must be filled only up to the widest part of its bottom.

What other solutions exist?

A decanter serves at least two purposes. First, it helps aerating your wine, and making it taste better. Second, it just looks really classy. If you want to impress your guests, bringing wine in a decanter is a sure-fire way to add some class to your dinner table.

Of course, you can perfectly just open your bottle and let it rest open for a while. French call this “chambrer le vin”, that you could translate by “chamber the wine” or let the wine rest in a room.

However, as the bottle is relatively narrow, there’s not much contact between air and wine, so the aeration is minimal, and it can take a long time to reach the right dosage.

You can accelerate the process by pouring some wine in a wide glass, and let both glass and bottle rest a while. Then, pour back the wine from glass to bottle.

What are the Pros?

Any flaws?

No product is perfect, and we want to give 100% honest reviews to our readers. Here are some flaws we noted:

while strong, it’s still a piece of crystal-ware, that must be handled with care

it doesn’t come with a stopper, so not appropriate if you don’t plan to drink the whole bottle

not many more flaws that we found

Who is this carafe for?

The Best Red Wine Decanter By Bella Vino really is a nice piece of glass-ware. It’ll be perfect for impressing your guests and ensuring you get the best presentation for your precious liquid.

However, it’s not usually something you use for everyday wine. If you don’t plan to host a party anytime soon, you’ll be better off with a simple aerator, or a combination like the Menu Winebreather Carafe.
